2012...The Year of the JRPG? (Beware 56K!!!)

Fire Emblem is not a JRPG. And if last gen is anything to go on then this is not even a game that should be uttered if we're talking about quality titles.

There's also Dragon's Crown, Grand Knights History, and like others said, Type-0, P4G, possibly Beyond the Labryinth too.

Versus XIII is not confirmed to be 2012 is it? Yet you dont have XIII-2 up there it seems. Also, Tales of the Abyss 3DS. Hopefully Bravely Default makes its way to NA.

It is kind of the first game on the list :P

XIII-2? Yay, day one.

Graces F? Bargain bin.

Ni no Kuni? Bargain bin.

Paper Mario? Day one.

Kingdom Hearts? Wait and see.

Fire Emblem? Day one.

Xenoblade? Day one.

Dragon Quest X? Day one.

Xillia? Wait and see.

Versus XIII? 2012? :lol:

mmmwksil

Hey, I might get to play it 2012. :cool:

FFXIII-2 - Maybe. Despite it's flaws I liked the first game, but I dunno about the sequel. I'll wait and see how it turns out

FFXIII Versus - maybe, maybe not. Depends on how things turn out with this game.

Paper mario 3DS - f*ck yeah I want this game.

Xenoblade - I definitely need to get this game, after all the ffort Operation rainfall went throutgh (that plus the game looks damn good anyways)

Fire Emblem 3DS - if this actually gets released then I would definitely want it. Been a while since I played a FE game I loved. (Radiant dawn and Shadow Dragon on the DS were both meh to me)

Everything else I do not care for.

Dare I be crazy enough to import? :o

And there's little chance I think even Japan will get it in 2012. :P

I can already predict the stories of these games. Boy falls for childhood friend or random lady. They do the friendship speech before the final boss. They save the world.

Probably shouldn't unless you understand Japanese. I'm sure both will be out in 2013. But Square's going to want the Japanese release to come out in 2012, since they've had a big release at the end of the year in Japan since 2009.

At the end of 2012, the game will have been in development for longer than FFXIII was (the latter being 2 years, this being more like 3).

I can fumble through the game. If it's an Action RPG it can't be that difficult to trial & error through it.

As for the story I could just read about it online. :P

But I'll wait and see how it actually plays closer to release before I consider an import.

Well if you're willing to pay like $100+ just to play it early, by all means.

Oh god... it's like someone just used my gut as a punching bag...

Devil Survivor 2! oh and hopefully the west gets Monster Hunter Tri G. I want to know what the hype is all about :oEponique

If you don't play with others, you'll probably get your butt kicked. If you want a more single player experience, you might want to look else where (like God Eater if what I've been told is correct).

madsnakehhh

AAAAAAHHHHH! I see now, you just failed to post a pic for it :P.

XIII-2? Maybe day one (I will get back to you when I play my copy of XIII)

Graces F? Day one

Ni no Kuni? Bargain bin (so far, but who knows)

Paper Mario? Day one (Hope its like the first two)

Kingdom Hearts? Never played one (IDK about this one)

Fire Emblem? Never played one (they look too strategy based)

Xenoblade? Day one!

Dragon Quest X? Bargain Bin (Never played one, we will see...oh wait this an MMO piece of junk right?)

Xillia? Day one (if it comes to NA)

Versus XIII? 2012?

Paper Mario 3DS and FFVXII.

Seems like the year of the mediocre JRPGs

Lost Odyssey seems much better than all those combined imo

loosingENDS

A game with dated game mechanics? No thanks.

You listed Paper Mario and Fire Emblem so you got my love.

Only care for XIII-2 and Xenoblade.

Oh and I guess Grand Knights History if it's out next year in English. Type-0 might be next year and that's a maybe since I already beat it.

It will probably be something like $120 when I pay for it.

No I'm trying the "Empire's Last Base" mission. I keep getting a character 1HKO'd somehow before I get to the Crystal Jammer. I'm levels 39-43, so I guess it's probably due to the fact that I'm mostly 10 levels below. Still don't understand the reason why the extra missions have such higher levels than the main ones ...

I'm sure the main mission will be cake once I actually do it (given how overleveled I am).

The worst problem is that even though the extra missions have extra phases (ex: you'll be given a series of maybe 8 maps to traverse with a boss fight before being given another series), there are no save points and there's no "restart" function like in 3rd Birthday.

... Why?

This'll be my last one, I think. That is, if I don't give up on it. I didn't do most of them.
